Dear Members:

MASC made another new high yesterday and is up as much as 36% since our StockGuru Spotlight Pick. This company sold and idle plant for $4.9M cash after a sale in April of a $10M plant. This is an established company with good opportunities for this cash and a market cap of $54.2M. Check them out. They are trading at their fifty-two week high up from a $0.99 low — so watch them closely.

StockGuru brings you trading news you can use.

While you can never catch the exact high StockGuru shows you the potential when you learn to trade the StockGuru way. We look at the news that moves the stocks — good and bad.

Take a closer look at picks still trading close or near to their highs since StockGuru’s Original Pick Date.

Material Sciences Corporation (OTCBB: MASC), a leading provider of material-based solutions for acoustical and coated metal applications, completed the sale of its Middletown, Ohio plant and coil coating equipment to NCI Group of Houston, Texas, for $4.9 million in cash. MSC idled operations at the Middletown plant about six years ago.

“We continue to sell non-core assets as part of our long-term growth strategy and received an attractive offer from NCI,” said Clifford D. Nastas, chief executive officer. “Our management team and board of directors are working together to determine the best use for our cash, and reinvestment in growth platforms continues to be a priority.”

This is the second asset sale to date in 2010. In April, the company sold certain coil coating assets located in one of its Elk Grove Village, Illinois plants for $10.0 million in cash. Prior to these transactions, Material Sciences ended its fiscal year on February 28, 2010, with $12.9 million in cash and no long-term debt.

We do not yet send out Spotlight Alerts by email, in an attempt to give your email box a break. Spotlights occur several times weekly, and are released ONLY when we see a valid reason. Occasionally, our Spotlights are compensated picks, but an editorial decision is made as to whether the situation qualifies as a market sensitive pick.
